The highest hill in the City, 927-foot Mount Davidson, is surrounded by
several tiny neighborhoods, including Sherwood Forest, Westwood
Heights, Westwood Park, Mount Davidson Manor and Miraloma Park. The
103-foot concrete Mt. Davidson cross, dedicated in 1934 by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, has been the subject of church vs. state
controversy for years. Follow the Mt. Davidson Stairway Walk to explore
this forest of eucalyptus, cypress and pines interspersed with a
variety of homes, from modest stuccos to elaborate ranch styles. From
your vantage points along the stairway walk, you can spot the shops and
restaurants of West Portal and the homes on San Bruno Mountain.
